pack up his beautiful exhibit and fly to
pastures new. During his residence in

he has decided to remain and re. enter
the practice of law. He will locate at

About four years ago Mrs. Finch was
married the second time and at the pres
ent day she is known as Mrs. s. Bisazza.
Her married life has not been the happy
dream of youth, and this is due to her
own self if Mr.. s. Bisazzas story be
true. Mr.. Bisazza states that when he
first met her she told him her
first husband was dead and had
long been buried. The day after
they were married she told him
that her first lold and master was "alive
and kicking" Whether there was
divorce Mr.. Bisazza does not know, but
he has been told 80 by the former Mrs.
Finch. According to Mr.. Bisazza trouble
commenced as soon as they had become
one. There could not be two heads to
the family and she was determined to be
the one. Four times had she broken up
his business, when about three months
ago he came to Les Angeles and
opened the Chicago restaurant ON
Spring street. Mrs. Bsazza followed
him and seemed determined to
wreck his hopes of attinining fortune in
this fair city. 1t appears from his story
that Mrs. Bisazza thinks he does not
furnish her with sufficient means to live
in the style in which she desires, and
she is determined that he shall do so.
She apparently has no regard for the
state Of his finances. and cares little
whether he has sufficient means left to
pay bills which he owes. All she
wants is the wherewithal to pur-
chase rich dresses for herself and
her daughter, by Mr.. French,
now l6 years old. Although Mr..
BiazzA has offered her the best his res.
taurant affords, she thinks it is not
good enough for her and demands deli.
cacies which millionaires alone can af.
ford. OF course Mr.. Bisazza cannot
afford this and MYs. Bisazza thereupon
flies into passion and wreaks her ven-
gance on inanimate things. A reporter
Of the HERALD visited the restaurant
last evening and was shown shattered
crystalware which Mr.. Bisazxa said was
done by his wife. How the matter will
end no one knows.
